Well it’s over.  I had the echocardiogram (ECG) today at 12:30.  I have never had an ultrasound until today.  It was very interesting to see my heart beat.  It just makes me appreciate God’s ability to create a human being even more.

I won’t know the results until tomorrow - hopefully.  The cardiologist was supposed to look over the ECG today and get with my doctor.  Then my doctor will call me.  I’m hoping everything is the way it should be; prayer has really become a staple more than it has been.  I am fortunate in that I have many people who love me and who are praying for me.  You couldn’t ask for better friends and family.  I will never take that for granted again.

Just keep me in your prayers, and I’ll let post the results as soon as I know them.
